OK, that is what I was thinking as well. In addition, we should be there for at least three hours (or so I would think?), so we are not in a hurry or anything.
As for splitting up into tables: I assume that this is what will happen anyway? I doubt they have a table for 30+ people, so we will probably just sit down at tables as we arrive, similar to the way it was at Dim Sum, right? After dinner, we can switch tables a bit (musical chairs
), but I agree that this is the easiest. I will tell the coordinator that this is our preference then. Thanks folks!

This is shaping up nicely. Some mariscos and margaritas ought to prepare everyone for the p.s. redeye back to the Apple.
The "maybe" list is too long, and the Confirmed is not long enough. Some of you Maybes I have yet to meet, but for WindFlyer, Wireless, Beerman92, party_boy, 90minfromJFK-CDG, UAX@SFO, KathyWdrf and Jet2K - I expect to see your names off the "maybe" and on the CONFIRMED!

I said this about the last SFO Do (Dim Sum at HKFL,) and I'll say it again: if any of our fantastic United FA's would like to join us, their drinks are on me!
Liz, iflyua2, Aluminum Tubing, flime2dc - gosh, there are so many Flyertalk United FA's, I can't remember them all. Anyway - You show up, I buy.

flyinryan has now joined the ranks of those that will be flying out on UA16, which makes six of us!^ Would at least one more person like to join us so we can officially say that 25% of the C cabin was taken up by FT? Imagine how many signatures we will get into those brand new Hemishpere's!
Also, anyone that will be in the SFO area anyway and could provide rides to the airport would be greatly appreicated, as it looks like there are at least six or so of us.

I'll drive myself + 2 others, which means I will have to seriously curtail my consumption of 'ritas. 
Perhaps I can redeem myself on board 16 later in the evening.

I figured I would cab it back to the airport unless we did have some nice drivers.

The Millbrae BART station is 3 miles from the restaurant, so, unless you really like to walk, maybe not the best option. The SAMTRANS 292 bus from SFO goes past Burlingame and might work: http://www.samtrans.org/pdf/Schedule...2_12-24-06.pdf

We should have UA send a van for all of us flying on 16 that night. 
"Hello, UA SFO Ops? Hi. There are 6 p.s. Business pax at a restaurant down the freeway who need a ride. Can you send a van? Tell the driver his/her dinner is free if we get picked up. There's a C-note in it if the driver takes us straight to the bottom of the jetway."

Lucky, as I still don't know exactly how I'll be joining you all that day, there is a decent chance I'll have either my or sister's car -- in which case me+3 (4, if you like pain) is an option.

A van?!?! I would much prefer one Mercedes S500 and one Porsche Cayenne to drive us straight to the jetway.

If I'm not in Tahoe, I'll drive people to/from airport.
